RFID vs. Barcodes Comparison

RFID and barcodes are similar in that they are both data collection
technologies, meaining they automate the process of collecting data.
However, they also differ significantly in many areas. Although this
comparison primarily focuses on the advantages of RFID over barcodes,
RFID will not completely replace barcode technology. Barcodes offer some
advantages over RFID, most notably their low cost.
